Emily Atack has revealed that she will marry her fiancé Alistair Garner in September, as she opened up about planning their big day. The 36-year-old actress got engaged to the scientist in July 2025, after they welcomed their son Barney, now two, the previous year.
Emily has now confirmed that they have set a date for their wedding, and she said she has 'very much enjoyed' the preparations. Sources previously indicated that the Inbetweeners star was considering getting married in Spain, having enjoyed family holidays there since childhood.
Speaking about her wedding, Emily said: 'I think I've nailed it. We're getting married in September. I've very much enjoyed the planning process.' She told Luxury London Magazine: 'Choosing napkins and stuff. I'm like, "My God, my life is here!"'
Emily's mother previously let slip that the star would tie the knot this year, after joking that Kim Kardashian's Met Gala look would be her dream 'mother-of-the-bride' outfit. Last year, it was reported that Emily and Alistair had been considering wedding venues in Spain. An insider told The Sun On Sunday: 'Emily has been going to Spain with her family on holiday ever since she was a child and loves the idea of getting married there. She and Alistair adore the stunning countryside there, and guaranteed sun is a bonus.'
Emily recently made a raucous return to screens as Sarah Stratton in the hit Disney+ series Rivals, showcasing her recent weight loss as she reprised the role. The second series was released on May 15. She opened up about a complex dinner party scene, explaining: 'You've got to know the lines inside out, know every bit of the rhythm of it.' She described a moment where her character has to 'break down' and added it was genuine, having had a feeling of 'I've done it'.
Emily reflected on playing 'flawed' women ahead of the new series. She told The Times: 'People in the past never wanted to admit that they identify with characters like Sarah as she's promiscuous and naughty. Now, characters like her, people are going, "Why am I rooting for them?" I'm all for that. I want to play a flawed woman in a right bl**dy pickle.'
